Release an R package with Positron - Julia Silge

Helpful worked example by @juliasilge. Updating an existing package with a new version and the steps to prepare a CRAN submission using a checklist of actions. Aside from seeing Positron in action it's also good for learning a realistic workflow in package development.

#rstats #Positron

The truly important reason to try the #positron R/Python editor is that it can work in parallel with another R session open in #RStudio for a different project...

Also amazed by the #Pluto notebook for #Julia scientific work. One of its nice features is that the associated file is in text format and the code can be easily extracted. Not yet ready to switch from #ggplot to #VegaLite though.

Check out my new screencast, where I walk through how I use #Positron for #rstats package development work. I decided to release a new version of an R package to CRAN ✨live✨ this time around!
